Sarah Silverman is Cool with Django’s N-Word

The always hilarious Sarah Silverman took time away from inducing laughter to explain to TMZ why she is okay with what some have termed excessive use of the N-word in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. Silverman defended the film from criticism (notably from her friend Spike Lee, who termed the film ‘disrespectful’) by noting that the N-word was in wide use in the Civil War era during which the movie is set, and that no one has any right to tell ‘art’ what to do. Point noted, Sarah . . . but is Django art or entertainment? Or a hybrid of both?

Tell us what you think? Have you seen the film? Is it unwontedly offensive? And if you haven’t seen it, will its liberal use of the N-word keep you away?

Like seriously.....why are you so sensitive? One guy makes a joke and calls Spike Lee a money and he's automatically racist and people who didn't think it was a big deal are automatically racist also...do you see how stupid that is?

since you brought up a monkey comment, calling a Black person a monkey is a racist statement. I have no reason to think it was a joke because it wasn't funny, if a person has a track record of not being a dick and makes a statement then fine, but if an a$$hole makes a racist comment it shouldn't be a problem if I call it what it is. He won't lose sleep and neither will I, just calling a spade a spade

bryanzee No , I am basing my opinion on his comments. He made a racist comment and I called it what it was. You then felt the need to defend him. That is your choice but in MY opinion it was a stupid choice. He will make more racist comments going forward and you will have to defend him again.
